Comments
Beyonce Knowles, one-third of pop/R&B group Destiny's Child, is set to make her feature film debut as the female lead in New Line Cinema's "Austin Powers 3: Goldmember."
The release date tentatively is scheduled for July 26, 2002. The project will mark Knowles' second outing as an actress; she made her debut this year in the title role of the MTV telefilm "Carmen: A Hip-Hopera."
The third installment of "Austin Powers," written by Mike Myers and Michael McCullers, continues the adventures of the swinging '60s superspy and his nemesis, Dr. Evil, both played by Myers.
Myers also will be playing the title character of the villainous Goldmember, as well as Fat Bastard, a role he originated in the second installment.
